NAME
xwud - image displayer for X
SYNOPSIS
xwud [-debug] [-help] [-inverse] [-in file] [-display
display]
DESCRIPTION
xwud is an X Window System window image undumping
utility. xwud allows X users to display window images
that were saved by xwd in a specially formatted dump
file. If no window manager is running, or if the
window manager does not override the original
coordinates, the window image appears at the
coordinates of the original window from which the dump
was taken. Monochrome dump files are displayed on a
color monitor in the default foreground and background
colors.
OPTIONS
-help
prints out a short description of the allowable
options.
-in file
allows the user to explicitly specify the input
file on the command line. If no input file is
given, the standard input is assumed.
-inverse
applies to monochrome window dump files in XYBitmap
format only. If selected, the window is undumped
in reverse video. This is mainly needed because
the display is write white, whereas dump files
intended eventually to be written to a printer are
generally write black.
-display display
allows you to specify the server to connect to.
-debug
sends debugging information to the screen (stderr).
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY
To get default display.

matching that of the original window.
